I’ve heard it said that a good GM is well aware of the Law of Unintended Consequences. The other way I’ve heard to look at this idea is to think of stones being dropped in a pond. There are always ripples, and you can’t always predict where they land. Unintended Consequences means, to me, that...

Hey, I capitalised these, adn ENWorld made them into normal typing! Let's try that again: AH! HA! HA!

Wasn't there a list of Torchwood sites that Jack reeled off once, including one that had got "lost"? Failing that, Torchwood Ipswich sounds good to me.

More importantly, can it be used for a D&D3e Great Cleave?

The characters! Commander Jim Goacher - a tough and heroic leader of men, he leads the trouble-shooting Alpha Project into situation where the larger Alliance forces wouldn't go. Peter Whyatt - possibly the most powerful biotic human in the galaxy. Also possibly the most overconfident, and...

And for those fighting with their calculators... the answer is 1. Read it again and you'll get it. :)

Spain ARE the European Champions, though! And they've got Villa and Torres up front - that's got to be the most dangerous partnership in the World Cup. I am, of course, cheering for England and hoping like hell that Rooney doesn't get a) injured or b) sent off. I'm also going to be...

Ahem. Thank you.

Greetings from a Hiver Formerly Known as Tallarn. Has been a Very Long Time since I saw you. :) My news is that I'm going to GenCon Indy in August, which is completely awesome in many ways. I am also properly employed, and nearly divorced. Has been a busy few years. :D

Awesome. Thank you. I'll be giving it a test run in the next couple of weeks, so you'll be playing Version 2.0. :)

Finally finished Mass Effect 1 over the weekend! And will be starting my third play-through of ME2 in the next few days. Really enjoyed the climax of ME1, have to say it's a better story and probably game than the sequel in my eyes. That said, the controls and use of powers is much better in...

I know this forum is mostly American in usership, but c'mon, surely there must be someone else other than me interesting in watching the upcoming FIFA World Cup in South Africa? Kicks off in 9 days time! The England squad was announced yesterday, with a few surprises. I also heard the USA squad...

Drawing weapons. I can't remember a single 4e game in which anyone kept a track of whether or not you had a weapon or implement in your hand at the start of combat. Changing weapons, to a certain extent, but drawing weapons is pretty much a free action.

Hi Frank, I know you did some Space Marine type figures earlier in the thread, and I'll go back and use them when I need them. However, I'm going to be running a Mass Effect based game at GenCon and SPOILERS! I'm going to need some Geth style figures. Geth - Mass Effect Wiki - Mass Effect...

The Hanged Man Whilst walking along Skeinwael’s black sand shoreline, Sigurd happened upon a trail of bare foot prints. The tide washed over them and then withdrew, fizzing and popping over the coarse dark grit. The oracle followed the faint foot prints across the beach and into the woods...

Quoted for great truth. You've had loads of great ideas. My other great idea is to introduce crazy NPC's. In the restuarant, if the owner isn't a PC have him turn up halfway through brandishing chopsticks. His actual effectiveness is up to you, of course. Make it absolutely clear that using...

Bumping this one time so people are aware.

Confirmed! And don't forget you can now use the {mention} function to call attention...

Hey, Crothian:, have you seen this yet? Imagine if we'd had this back in the old Hivemind days!

I played with a large group. My advice, if you have a lot of players, is to be really firm on forcing them to keep up the pace. Your most frequent question should be "Who's next, and what are you doing?" You'll need to live up to this by making sure you act quickly as decisively when it's your...
